Best Answer

The times of high and low tide shift a little each day, so usually you'll get one high and one low tide in a day.

Occasionally you can get high-low-high or low-high-low in one day, but this is quite rare.

The Moon causes these tides by deforming the oceans, and as the Earth rotates under this ocean bulge, it causes a high tide to propagate onto beaches. Because there are two bulges, we get two high tides, and also two low tides each day.
